Recycle Your Cork!


According to the Audubon Magazine, “Corks are 100 percent natural, recyclable, and biodegradable.” Wine and Champagne cork recycling is a common practice in both Australia and Europe, but the U.S. lags behind. A company called Yemm & Hart, located in Missouri, recycles these corks and furthermore they are working to develop new materials from the corks.

Mail your wine corks to:

Wine Cork Recycling
Yemm & Hart Ltd
610 South Chamber Dr
Fredericktown MO 63645
